By default, results are saved into a mata class object named
{opt GtoolsPoisson}. Run {opt mata GtoolsPoisson.desc()} for
details; the name and contents can be modified via {opt mata()}.
The results can also be saved into variables via {opt gen()}
or {opt prefix()} (either can be combined with {opt mata()}, but not
each other).

{pstd}
Note that extended varlist syntax is {bf:not} supported. Further,
{opt fweight}s behave differently that other weighting schemes; that
is, this assumes that the weight refers to the number of available
{it:observations}.

{title:Description}

{pstd}
{cmd:gpoisson} estimates a poisson regression model via IRLS,
optionally weighted, by group, with cluster SE, and/or with multi-way
high-dimensional fixed effects.  The results are by default saved
into a mata object (default {opt GtoolsPoisson}).  Run {opt mata
GtoolsPoisson.desc()} for details; the following data is stored:

The OSX version of gtools was implemented with invaluable help from @fbelotti;
